Correspondence of the Gazette.
MoBEEVlE, Ten, Sept. + The GA
zETTE reporter interviewed two Panhan-
die stockmen to-day about the proposed
refrigerator enterprise st Houston-Mr,
Henry Hamburg of this county and MIR.
Nose Esys, manager Of the Springer
ranch in Hemphill county. Both ex-
pressed the opinion that g refrigerator at
Houston would draw but little patronage
from the stockmep Of this section. Said
Mr.. Hamburg: "With the cattlemsn the
only question in marketing his beeyes
is where can the best market be found. Il
is further from greater portion Of the
Panhandle to Houston than to Kansas
City. Therefore dc not think it PROT
able that Houston will ever become s
cattle market for this section. Itthe re
trigerator were located in Fort Worth il
woulG be accessible to us" Mr.. Hayes
expressed substantially the same views
No interest seems TO be taken by the
cattle men of the Panhandle in the pro
posed enterprise, and il it is successful,
the probabilities are that it will divert
but few shipments Of beeves from this
country from eastern markets.
